Effective: July 15, 1996
History: Amended 1996 Ky. Acts ch. 318, sec. 282, effective July 15, 1996. -- Created
1992 Ky. Acts ch. 299, sec. 1, effective July 14, 1992.
Legislative Research Commission Note (7/14/92). This statute was created in 1992 Ky.
Acts ch. 299, which contains the enrolled text of Senate Bill 250. A committee
substitute for this bill was adopted by the House with a floor amendment, and the
Senate subsequently concurred in this action by the House; this amended substitute
thus became the enrolled version of the bill. In drafting the House Committee
Substitute, the original Section 10 of the bill was deleted in its entirety, but internal
section references within the bill were not renumbered to reflect this deletion.
Therefore, in codifying this statute, the internal section reference within Acts ch. 299,
sec. 1, has been changed pursuant to KRS 7.136(1).
